Selling Sunset's Mary Fitzgerald Gives Sad Update On Her IVF Journey

Publish date: 2024-04-08

During an appearance on the "Off The Vine" podcast, Mary Fitzgerald revealed she has to undergo another IVF treatment because her first one was unsuccessful. "We're probably going to start in August or September depending on my body's timeline," she told host Kaitlyn Bristowe. "We're going to do it again." During her first round, only 10 of her 15 eggs were viable. However, those 10 had some complications and only three eggs made it to the end of the process. 

But, unfortunately for Fitzgerald and her husband Romain Bonnet, the last three eggs were not healthy and had several abnormalities which made them unviable options. "We want to wait for a couple more years," she confessed to Bristowe. "He wants to wait ... I want to wait, but we may not have that opportunity because ... I feel so young and I'm not." Fitzgerald has since been encouraging women on social media to go through the embryo freezing process at a younger age and not wait for the last minute. "Please consider doing this at the youngest age possible if you know/think you want to have children," the real-estate agent said in an Instagram video. 

During a January 2021 interview with Us Weekly, Fitzgerald — who already has adult son from a previous relationship — added that she is trying to have a child with Bonnet because she doesn't want to rob him from that experience. "I don't care about having kids anymore," she said.
